Debugging in RubyMine 2.0 :: Can't install ruby-debug-ide19 on Windows
Hi Everyone,
I am brand new to RoR, and to RubyMine as well. I am following along with this movie http://media.rubyonrails.org/video/rails_blog_2.mov and everything is working so far...
Until I got to the debugging step. I can't seem to get ruby-debug-ide19 installed, from within RubyMine, or just from the console.
Can you please help me be able to debug with RubyMine?
I will happily share any further info.
Thank you much,
Mike

Hi Michael,
you may use instruction from http://giorgio-ferrara.blogspot.com/2009/11/how-to-enable-ruby-debug-in-rubymine-20_22.html on how to install ruby-debug gem. There's some manual patching and additional software needed, so we can not fully automate this step.
Hi Dennis,
Thank you VERY much, that worked perfectly!
I am still unable to debug, but at least now it's because I simply don't know what I'm doing. It looks like RubyMine is happy with everything and is certainly not crashing.
Can you please point me towards what I can learn to use the debugger well?
Very excellent and thank you again,
Mike
Hi Mike,
you may want to take a look at our debugger web page to start with: http://www.jetbrains.com/ruby/features/ruby_debugger.html and look for "Running and debugging" in our help topics (Help | Help Topics), there is a blog post http://blogs.jetbrains.com/ruby/2009/06/did-you-know-searching-for-help/ on how to use help search function
Develop with Pleasure! =)
